A view from my recent trip to Prague! I’m feeling grateful for time to reset and gain a little perspective. Taking time away helps us return more present and grounded in our work and for those we serve. Happy New Year! Wishing everyone a restorative start to 2026.

One of my favorite parts of this time of year is spending time in the kitchen, especially baking my pane siciliano. There’s something grounding about slowing down & sharing something homemade with others. I hope this season allows you time to rest & recharge for the year ahead!
